Saratoga Spa Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AVOIDING THE RIS TO CHILDREN
Spa Safety reminders
DANGER:
Risk of Child Drowning
Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children.To avoid
accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa unless they are supervised at all times.
WARNING:
• To reduce the ris of injury, do not permit children to use this spa unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
• To reduce the ris of injury, lower water temperatures are recommended for young children.
Children are especially sensitive to hot water.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock the child resistant spa cover locks after using the spa for your
children’s safety. Every Saratoga Spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the
ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers.
• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing children to enter the spa to
be sure that it’s comfortable. Children are especially sensitive to hot water.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure that children are
careful when entering or exiting the spa.
DON’T:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
DANGER:
Risk of Child Electrocution
• Connect only to a grounded source.
• Do not bury the power cord.A buried power cord may result in death, or serious
personal injury due to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not used, or if improper
digging occurs.
• A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the
unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper bonding
conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures
of electrical equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to
comply with local requirements.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, replace all damaged cords immediately. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution.

DANGER:
Risk of Electric Shock
• Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio or television within
5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.These units DO NOT have an internal ground fault circuit interrupter.
The installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter MUST be done by a qualified Electrician
and must meet all local and national codes. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in
death, or serious personal injury due to electrocution, if the appliance should fall into the spa.
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces.A spa may be installed within 5 feet of
a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code
ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.
• Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and
from all electrical components.
DO:
• Do test the water temperature with your hand before entering the spa to be sure the
water temperature is comfortable.
• Do keep the spa cover locked when the spa is not in use.
• Do check the equipment compartment monthly for any signs of tampering to the
spa equipment.
• Do follow the maintenance instructions of the spa found in this owner’s manual.
• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed
electrical contractor.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) once a month.
DON’T:
• Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
• Don’t allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
• Don’t block the equipment compartment vents.This could cause damage to the spa
equipment and will void the warranty.
DANGER:
Risk of ersonal Injury
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove suction fittings located at the
bottom footwells of the spa.
• The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the
pump. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on
the original suction fitting. Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
• There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery.
Take care when entering or exiting the spa.
• People with infectious diseases should not use the spa.
• Keep any loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other
moving components.
• The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
• Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa; some medication
may cause a user to become drowsy, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood
pressure, and circulation.

• Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines
or anticoagulants should not use the spa.
• Water temperature in excess of 38ºC (100.4ºF) may be injurious to your health.
• Pregnant women should consult a physician before using spa.
• Persons suffering from obesity, or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high
blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician
before using spa.
Unclean water
• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care.
• Maintain water chemistry in accordance with chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
Important:
• Turn on Jet ump #1, on high speed, for a 15 minute cycle (or 20 minutes
for olo Adelphi, and utnam) after adding ANY spa water
chemicals into the spa.
• Clean the filter cartridges monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup
which may affect the performance of the jets, limit the flow, or trip the
high limit thermostat.
DANGER:
Risk of Hyperthermia
The causes, symptoms and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows:
yperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6ºF.The symptoms of hyperthermia
include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness
and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
1. Failure to perceive heat.
2. Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub.
3. Unawareness of impending hazard.
4. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
5. Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in drowning.
WARNING:
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the ris of fatal hyperthermia in hot
tubs and spas.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
• The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40ºC).Water temperatures between
100°F (37.7ºC) and 104°F (40ºC) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
• Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding ten minutes)
and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F.
Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby.
• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

DANGER:
Avoiding the Risk of Skin Burns
• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of temperature-regulating
devices may vary by as much as ±5°F.
• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.
Important:
The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage
you to read and apply them.
DO:
• Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.
• Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual.
• Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners.
DON’T:
• Leave the Saratoga spa exposed to the sun without water or the cover in place. Exposure
to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material.
• Lift or drag the vinyl cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover by
using the handles.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box.There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Opening of the control box by the spa owner will void the warranty. If you have an opera-
tional problem, carefully go through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If
you are not able to resolve the problem, contact your authorized Saratoga Spa dealer. Many
problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by an Authorized Service Technician.
• Block or sit on the filter compartment area.
• Allow excessive weight to be placed on the spa cover. Doing so could damage the spa
cover and void any warranty.
